We will place a new ad in the New York Times in the coming weeks, and we will continue our mobilization efforts to get Congress to introduce articles of impeachment. We have been able to make great strides so far with the support of all those who believe in the impeachment movement. We need to raise $100,000 in the next month to place the new newspaper ad. Your contribution is urgently needed.

There can be no conflict between freedom and security. We must have both, or we will have neither. President Bush insists that we sacrifice freedom to be secure. His actions as President have endangered both our freedom and our security.

President Bush has radically diminished the security of the United States by his criminal acts. His wars of aggression, defined as the “Supreme international crime” by the Nuremberg Court, in Afghanistan and Iraq have created anger, fear and hatred among vast populations all blaming the United States. Thousands of young men have been motivated to violence by the invasions and illegal U.S. occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. U.S. military bases, embassies, businesses and tourists around the globe are threatened because of the Bush Administration's aggressions and threats against “evil empires” others call home, or their part of the world. Fear of what President Bush calls “terrorist acts” stalks our own land.

Today's news reveals that 655,000 Iraqis have died as a consequence of the U.S. invasion and occupation of their country. This is being reported by the medical journal the Lancet from a study performed by U.S. and Iraqi doctors under the auspices of Johns Hopkins University. This stands as one of the great crimes in the modern era. George W. Bush and others responsible must be impeached.

U.S. intelligence agencies have confirmed the obvious. The U.S. assault and continuing presence in Iraq has fueled a new and massive potential for violence against the U.S. by people theretofore friendly to the U.S. Common sense and the slightest understanding of human nature informs us all that people react angrily to threats, assaults and foreign military occupations perceived as unjustified.

What manner of of beast puts on a soldiers uniform in full body armor carrying the worlds most advanced weapons holds your little sister to the ground while his buddies wait their turn to rape and ravage her and when their sickly pleasure done take her life with weapons bought with your tax dollars?

What manner of savage beast in soldiers uniform hiding in the safety of an armored vehicle, against the stones and tears of helpless women and children trying to protect their home, roll over your daughter,crushing her like a toy backing over her for good measure for for sickness of their joy.(men who swore "never again")What manner of pompous beast occupies the highest office in the land, paid by our your tax dollars,boasts communion with God, orders the destruction of sovereign nations, committing crimes of war unimaginable by a democratic nation.Restricting the freedom of a free people, allowing the use of torture, denying an accused right to counsel under the guise of bringing democracy and justice to the world?No manner of four legged beast is he but a shameless coward who does not deserve the name of man.IN MEMORY OF RACHEL CORRIEhttp://www.rachelcorrie.org/
